Rubjergknude light house is no longer in service. It is half covered in a sand dune. There used to be a cafe only a few years ago, but the pressure from the sand, broke the house. You can still see the remains of it.

This passage goes under the connection between the old and the new stage of The Royal Danish Theater (Det Kongelige Teater) in Copenhagen. In 1931, the new stage opened, but it had several impractical constructions, like the audio studio wasn't sound isolated. It remained problematic until it was closed in 2008.

When I exhibited at Chester Art Fair 2015, I got the chance to see Chester Cathedral. An amazingly beautiful cathedral built in the shape of an enormous big cross. It's like it has more churches in one, or many chapels if you like. This pattern on the floor I think is a bit of a secret. It's hidden behind the main altar, next the choir boy's benches. It's a sort of a room right in the middle of the church, but for some reason you miss it.

On a cold winters morning I found the Sea Stallion sitting alone on the land, wrapped in Christmas lights. The Sea Stallion is the world's largest reproduction of a Viking ship. The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde owns the Sea Stallion. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

Copenhagen Central Station is a busy station, but this morning I was lucky to capture an empty platform. I particularly like the play between the orange elektrical light and the blue natural light. Photo by: Jacob Surland

I tried to make a composition of The Louvre, that I hadn't seen before. The place is super crowded, which makes it harder. When I got to this gate I started to play around with it. And this half closed position, makes a special composition, which I had never seen before.

I forgot my jacket in the car, when I went to shoot photos of Eltz Burg & Eltz Castle. I ended standing for a couple of hours in a light but very cold wind. In the end I was rewarded by this situation, a car leaving the Castle.

This photo of the fountain in front of Pantheon is one of my favorites, from my trip to Rome. At first I didn't see it, but when I got close, this acid green color showed up. I when a bit closer, and I could see there was a shape in the water, and I went even closer to get this. And believe me, that color is as good as straight out of the camera.

On the very first morning I got up very early with the specific purpose, to photograph the sunrise, I got this sunrise as a reward. The sunlight licks the wooden jetty, and the clouds mirror in the completely smooth water on summer's day. The Sun rises over the Fiord of Roskilde, my hometown. Roskilde is the first capital of Denmark, and you can find many historic and interesting sites. During the past millennium, many of the kings have been buried in Roskilde.

The crop was almost ready for harvesting. I was at the same location, Salvad Park, a few months earlier, but then everything was green. It didn't make any sense to take photos of it, because all would be green. In the distance you can see Roskilde Fiord. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

Just imagine to be on board a cruise ship and wake up in the morning in such a place as Milford Sound. Wow. As a photographer standing on land, it made me feel "Ahhhh come on you are ruining the moment!". However, I already had got the shots I came for and was about to turn around anyway.

London City Hall with the London Tower Bridge just after midnight. Only a few people hovers around the area, but it in the daytime people crowds this place. The stars are peeking out from the skies. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

Bruges is a fairytale medieval city worth a visit. The movie 'In Bruges' got my attention on the city, and I made a one night stop there, on the way to France. We stayed at the most charming old renaissance hotel right in the center, and it was a perfect fit, with the city, capital of chocolates. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com

I don't know if there ever was Gold in Cologne, but if there was, they must have put it into this into this bridge. When I got close, I could see there is is another kind of gold on the bridge. It's full of padlocks hung by lovers. I have never ever seen so many padlocks in one place, as on this bridge. It's from one end to the other.

On a day in September as hot as a summer day, I caught this in a Cathedral in Amsterdam. A nice american lady said, that it looked like a nice camera I had there, but that she would precious her pictures just as much I would mine, even though her camera was much smaller.
I had been in the church many years before and knew it was beautiful, so I wanted to go back and get this shot.
The photo is a 7 shot HDR photo. I did the tonemapping in Photomatix, and then took all seven exposures + tonemapped into Photoshop as layers and blended them together, until I liked it. I tuned the colors a little and did some final sharpening. Photo by: Jacob Surland, http://www.caughtinpixels.com Licensed creative commons non-commercial v4.0. No derivative Work.
